Product Recommendations

Throughout this site, readers will find sprinkles of product recommendations. Whether it be an active review, a traditional blog post or any other section, odds are you’ve already seen a link to a product recommendation.

To make it ease to navigate, this page is divided into running, hiking and nutrition. Each image is linked to Amazon so you can gather more information and buy the product recommendation.

Your section for all things running. You’ll find shoes, socks and other items to help you hit the open road.

Running Shoes

The following shoe product recommendations are shoes I’ve used to either train or run in races. The only trail shoe in this list is a shoe that I actually use when hiking trails, as I rarely trail run (as of present time).
